Megan Kaminski

Megan Kaminski is a poet and essayist—and the author of three books of poetry, Gentlewomen (Noemi Press, 2020), Deep City (Noemi Press, 2015) and Desiring Map (Coconut Books, 2012). Her writing focuses on connecting to our shared ecosystem as a source of knowledge and inspiration for strategies to live in the world, to grieve and heal after loss, and to re-align thinking towards kinship, community, and sustainability. An Associate Professor in English and Co-Director of the Global Grasslands CoLABorative at the University of Kansas, she specializes in poetry and poetics, queer ecology, somatics, and the environmental humanities. Her work is informed by interdisciplinary research in social welfare, evolutionary biology, and philosophy, as well as previous work in the healing arts and at non-profit environmental organizations.
